Exmoor National Park Festivals

Thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy events during the Exmoor Nature Festival 2026 - celebrating wildlife, wellbeing and the National Park’s special landscapes. It ran from Saturday 16 May to Sunday 31 May and ended with a bang in the Exmoor Society Big Nature Day.

Photos clockwise from top left: Tree nursery Open Day, open water swimming with exmoorwildswim.co.uk, Exmoor Society Nature Symposium with Laura Williams ENPA Member, BirdGirl AKA Mya Rose Craig and Sophia Brown of the Steppin' Sistas, road-testing virtual reality tech - developed to take Exmoor landscapes to people who can't get to the National Park

Farming in Protected Landscapes Day at Oare House

Our team met with the Local Assessment Panel recently, to look at one of last year's approved projects - bringing together four landowners in the Oare Valley to deliver a river restoration project with Threeatop Woodland Services

Participants got to see the good work delivered to stabilise the riverbank, create a mosaic of habitats within the river and plant a broad range of trees to strengthen the biodiversity of the area. This will support unique ecosystems on Exmoor and provide better connectivity for wildlife.

Pinkery Canal Heritage Open Day - Save the Date!

Saturday 18 July

Part of the Festival of Archaeology - A chance to learn more about the history of the Exmoor 'Royal Forest' landscape and John Knight's thwarted vision with Heritage Ranger Kimberley Colman.
